City of Missoula considers Missoula Economic Partnership contract boost to support economic goals

(Missoula Current) Over the last five years, the Missoula Economic Partnership has emerged as one of the city’s strongest economic development arms in its work to expand Missoula’s tax base, grow and retain businesses, and help the city achieve its redevelopment goals.

But while the organization’s work on the city’s behalf has grown, funding provided by the city has remained flat, and the Missoula Redevelopment Agency’s board of directors may look at providing greater public support to MEP’s work, given its benefit to the public as a whole.
